In high alpine regions, the most dangerous places are those with blowing snow

The most dangerous places are those with blown snow, where a heavy load can trigger a mostly small, blocky Avalanche. More caution is needed in ravines and gullies where there may be more blown snow.

The snow base is local, with little snow overall. As the weather has warmed, the snow cover has started to change more rapidly in the mid-mountains and also in the high alpine regions. There is still some light snow in the shelter of the high alpine regions, but in the high alpine regions the snow base is mostly crusty and hard.

Moderate to mainly cloudy, with light to moderate southwesterly winds. Temperatures will be around 1 °C at 1500 m and -2 °C at 2500 m.

Weather and avalanche conditions will remain similar in the coming days.
